The Pumpkin Patch!

Most of you know me well enough to know that fall is my absolute favorite season, Halloween is my favorite holiday (well, at least until Christmas gets here) and that the Pumpkin Patch is one of my favorite family outings of the year!

This year we went with our good friends and neighbors, The Farley Family

Don't you wonder what they are talking about?

The best attempt at a picture of all four kids

Mommy and her girls

Look at sweet Coleman, he loves Ana Blair

Daddy, Pumpkin Face and a Pumpkin

Olivia and Coleman searching for the perfect pumpkin

The search for the perfect pumpkin continues!

...And sorry I am still posting Fall and Halloween...I will eventually get caught up!

Young Love

Olivia has grown up so much since starting kindergarten. But the biggest change is that she apparently has a "boyfriend." And this is the joker she has chosen. Haha! I am just kidding. He is actually a neighbor of our's and is a very sweet kid. In Olivia's words, "Ian is the prettiest boy in the driveway." Hilarious!

This is them on a field trip to Ijams Nature Center

The Beach

I am finally posting beach pics! It was such a great trip! It was such a whirlwind trip! I wish I had more pics...200 is not enough! I am ready to go back!

The first leg of the trip was spent with our good friends, The Dunavant family...we had such a great time with our four girls!

Love this one and her daddy...two peas in a pod!

Our poor effort at a family shot!

...And The Shark! Olivia is so excited to be a Cookie Shark...I had to stop her from posing like this in EVERY picture!

I LOVE this picture of these sweet friends!

And who doesn't love a pic of Pumpkin Face?

Love her

She is my poolside cuddle buddy!

My Pumpkin Face

And My Sass Face...where does she get this?

My Water Baby! I hope she likes it this much next year when she meets Ms. Mildred!

Waterslide Junkie...we got our $$$$ worth, this child went down the slide a minimum of 100 times!

My life.

My reasons for getting up every day.

This relationship is too precious for words

What?!?

My Coppertone Baby

How cool is she in her Ray Bans?

Olivia got her hair did!

My beautiful big girl

The Beach!

A couple of weeks ago, Michael and I packed up the two girls and headed to Pawley's Island, SC with Melia, Ryan and Hudson Roller (and the one that's on the way...he was actually the best behaved child of all!). Michael and I had never been on vacation with our girls without the "assistance" of family. It was hard (we felt like we needed a vacation when we got home!), but it was fun!

Yes, they match. And yes, they matched at most meals!

Can you believe people say Olivia and I don't look alike? Ha!

Pumpkin Face

I still try to get a picture of the two of them together, and most of the time I fail!

Look at those tired eyes! Can you tell its already past her bedtime? And would you be surprised to know that she did not make it through dinner this night?

One morning (one morning? who am I kidding? Every morning) Ana Blair woke up early, so she and I decided to go for a walk on the beach.

She caught up on some zzz's

And on the last day we got a visit from our friends, the Dunavant Family! We are looking forward to spending more time with them in July when we head back!

All in all, it was a fun (but exhausting for the whole fam!) trip!
